The pro tenn. of the Olympia Partisan
makes some awful ''breaks" in the last
issue of that paper. Cavanaugh ought
to put some fellow with common sense
at least in charge when he is away.
That call" for the laity of the NJ. E.
Church bears dozen responsible sigma
tures-of men who are abundantly able
to defend their action. SO far as the
ARGUS editor is concerned, he believes
that neither Port Townsend business
men nor the lay members of the Nj. f..
Church are in a mood to be bulId0zed,
even by so conspicuous ninny as the
PdFtiSul pro TEN.
4 BRAND New NAME.-Just listen to
this: The Olympia Partisan proposes a
name for this territory when it is admit
ted as a State. Brother Cavanaugh
thinks that the proper name should be
"InIandsea." Great Scott! We scratch
our head to try and get the idea, but
fail to connect. Inlandsea! How would
that suit the great wheat growing region
east of the Cascades, which is the largest
portion of our territory. What IS the
matter with the grand old name of
Washington? State of Inlandsea! State
of TacomaI State of Seattle! State of
Starvation or State of Washington. The
last is good enough for us, but 1nlandsea
oh, my sainted grandmother. Cgyau-
augh says, "we sympathize with Weir
ond the people of the Port of Entry in
their disappointment in not having the
University located here. We also SYM
pathize with Thomas H., who will fail
to induce the public to accept Inlandsea
in exchange for Washington.
